Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 367 Xun Yu Submits

"General Helian Chihuo, the Han people's city is ahead." As soon as the Xianbei army drove outside Heqi City, Beware hurriedly introduced to the general beside him, but this person was the leader of the scouts following Cheng Lian's team.

"You've done a good job, send me an order, the army is ready to attack the city." Looking at the earthen wall of Heqi City in front of him, Helianchi's expression turned pale, and he ordered.

"Why is General Helian Chihuo so anxious? Although the general has [-] soldiers, the Xianbei man galloping on the grassland is naturally invincible, but if he wants to attack the city, he will suffer heavy casualties due to the lack of equipment. In my opinion, General Helian and his effort to attack the city , it would be more practical to besiege the city and send reinforcements." Helian Chihuo was about to order the army to attack the city, but a person walked out and said.Although this person is in the Xianbei army, he is dressed in Han Chinese clothes. This person is none other than Han Sui who has been disappearing since Jincheng was captured by Lu Bu.

"General Han, although you are the guest of the patriarch Kirby Bear, I have to say that you don't know how to fight. Otherwise, how could you be forced to such a point by Lu Bu?" Seeing Han Sui coming out to speak, Helian Chi Huo said disapprovingly.Han Sui's defeat in Liangzhou not only made him lose his old home, but also caused heavy losses to Xianbei. This made Helian Chihuo dislike Han Sui very much. That's why Helian Chihuo and Han Sui led the troops together.

"Hehe, Han Sui did lose to Lu Bu, but it doesn't mean that Han Sui is incompetent, it's just that Lu Bu is too cunning. If General Helian doesn't listen to me, I'm afraid he will repeat my mistakes today. General Helian doesn't want it. Forget that Han Sui is Han and may not be able to gain the trust of the patriarch Kobe Bear, but General Helian is also a Hun, once defeated, it may not be easy to stand up again." Regarding Helian Chihuo's arrogance, Han Sui was naturally very angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who would let himself be under the fence, but in comparison, how much better is Helian Chihuo's situation than Han Sui?

"How do you know that I'm from the Huns?" Helian Chihuo's face changed when Han Sui told his background, his bull's eyes widened, and he said with a ferocious expression.

"Hehe, it's very simple. I've only heard of the surname Helian in the Huns before, but I haven't heard that Xianbei also has the surname Helian. I don't want to know how General Helian came to be under the command of the patriarch. I just want to tell the general. It's not a good feeling to be under the fence, the general and I are just under the fence, why can't Jin Cheng cooperate, it won't do any good for you and me to fight like this." Facing Helian Chihuo, Han Sui chuckled and said about himself the meaning of.Han Sui was not without ambition, and it was only a moment of helplessness to seek refuge with the Xianbei people. However, Han Sui did not give up revenge on Lu Bu, and did not forget to make a career.

"In that case, let's talk about your plan." Staring at Han Sui for a long time, Helian Chihuo finally said with a sigh of relief.

Helian Chihuo was originally an aristocrat of the Xiongnu. Helian Chihuo had no ambitions because he was excluded by others. At that time, Xianbei and the Huns went to war. Helian Chihuo was accidentally captured by Kirby Bear, but Kirby Bear did not humiliate him. Instead, Helianchihuo treated each other with courtesy, encouraging Helianchihuo to show the Xiongnu army under his tent, and he would have the opportunity to return to the Huns to recover everything he had in the future.Although Helian Chihuo's blood boiled with excitement when he heard Kirby Bear's words, it was just that Kirby Bear's solicitation words were not taken seriously. When Helianchi was on fire, Helianchi still had the ambition to annex the Huns to dominate the grassland, but after Tan Shihuai's death, Xianbei civil strife continued.

This time Lu Bu suddenly rose up in Xiliang and killed [-] Xianbei soldiers. Not only did Kirby Xiong not ask his teacher to question the crime, but he endured Lu Bu's harassment on the border.Lu Bu didn't get Liangzhou, but he still ate Xianbei's [-] soldiers and horses and defeated Han Sui.Now that Lu Bu has taken over Liangzhou, how can it be easily destroyed? If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. Kirby Xiong doesn't want to be taken advantage of by other Xianbei tribes when he fights Lu Bu.However, after learning that Lu Bu not only sent troops to invade the country repeatedly but also built cities in his own territory, Kirby Bear couldn't sit still anymore, so he sent Helian Chihuo and Han Sui to lead the troops, just to give Lu Bu a Get off the horse, and then negotiate terms with Lu Bu. Kirby has already spent too much time and troops in Xiliang, and Kirby may not be able to bear this consumption.

"General Helian, have you seen that young man in literati clothes on the top of Heqi City? There is Lu Bu over there. Lu Bu has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the most elite of which are his ten thousand wolf cavalry. And these ten thousand wolf cavalry I think the cavalry was commanded by Lu Bu himself, and now that Lu Bu is here, it means that Lu Bu’s wolf cavalry is probably nearby." Han Sui did not say his plan, but pointed to a scribe on the tower who was dressing The young man of tea introduced to Helian Chihuo.

"So what?" As a nobleman of the Huns and a general of Xianbei, Helian Chihuo had heard that Lu Bu's wolf cavalry was a rare elite in the Han army, but the pride in his bones made him look down on others. Moreover, in Helian Tieshu's view, no matter whether it is the Xianbei iron cavalry or the Hun cavalry, that one will not lose to Lu Bu's wolf cavalry.

"If the general orders the army to attack the city at this time, then Lu Bu's wolf cavalry is likely to be killed when the general's army is attacking the city. I am afraid that the general will not care about the head and tail. Even if the battle is not defeated, the loss will be heavy." See Helian Chihuo didn't care, and Han Sui said the point.

As soon as Han Sui said this, Helian Chihuo was startled. Although he thought that his [-] men were all elite, he was not sure of winning when he was confronted with enemies.What's more, Kirby Bear asked him to come here this time just to teach Lu Bu a lesson. If he was taught by Lu Bu instead, wouldn't he be ashamed to see Kirby Bear?
"I don't know what good strategy Brother Han Sui has?" Seeing what Han Sui said was serious, Helian Chihuo hurriedly turned around and asked.

"It's very simple. You can see that the fire has risen in Heqi City. This is a signal to call for reinforcements. I believe their reinforcements will arrive soon. The general only needs to send troops to monitor Heqi City, and at the same time send out scouts to find their reinforcements." It lies in annihilation, as long as Heqi City has no reinforcements, the general can fight as he wants." Han Sui said with a slight smile on his face when he saw that Helian Chihuo was finally willing to listen to him.

"Hehe, General Han Sui's idea is indeed a good idea. It's the ability to advance, attack, retreat, and defend, which makes our army invincible." Although Helian Chihuo felt a little conservative about Han Sui's plan, he couldn't help it. Not to mention that this is the best combat strategy at present.But Helian Chihuo seemed to have thought of something and asked again: "Didn't you say that Lu Bu's wolf riders are nearby? Then you talk about how to deal with them?"

"Haha, General Helian was born noble, so he got to the point right away. Lu Bu's wolf cavalry is elite, but Lu Bu relies too much on wolf cavalry in battle. According to my observation, there should be 1 active around a hundred miles away. cavalry, and these cavalry are not elite wolf cavalry. In other words, if the general does not attack Heqi City, what he will face is Lu Bu’s [-] wolf cavalry and [-] cavalry. Therefore, I suggest dividing the troops into two groups [-] Ten thousand soldiers stayed outside Heqi City, and another [-] soldiers and horses set up ambushes around them. With [-] soldiers and horses setting up an ambush, no matter whether the volunteers were [-] wolf cavalry or another [-] cavalry, they could all be wiped out. When one army is fighting, another enemy army appears, and our [-] remaining soldiers and horses can also block it and buy time. As long as we can really destroy or disperse Lu Bu's cavalry, without the protection of cavalry, then this Heqi City is just a dead city." Han Sui said his plan confidently with a laugh. Although Han Sui arrived in Xianbei these days, he stopped paying attention to Lu Bu all the time, and he knew Lu Bu's combat habits like the back of his hand.

"It seems that the Xianbei people will not plan to attack the city." Xun Yu, Lu Bu and others on the tower kept paying attention to the Xianbei people outside the city all the time. Seeing the sudden division of troops by the Xianbei people, Lu Bu frowned and said.

"There is only one possibility for the Xianbei people to divide their forces at this time, and that side is to besiege the city and fight for aid." Xun Yu also frowned and then judged.

"Hehe, what Mr. Xun said is very true. The Xianbei people are all cavalry, but they are not suitable for attacking the city. This is very similar to me. It must be a waste to use cavalry to attack the city." Lu Bu was very impressed with the Xianbei people's approach. He nodded in agreement.But then he turned his head and said to Tai Shici who was at the side: "General Tai Shi, do you want to go out and try your skills?"

"The general means that I will lead the troops to fight?" Hearing Lu Bu's words, Tai Shici frowned slightly. Tai Shici naturally knew the situation in Heqi City. They were all infantry, and there was no chance of winning against the Xianbei cavalry outside the city. Where is the opportunity to attack.Although there are horses in Cheng Lian's hands and in Heqi City, infantry riding on horses is not the same as cavalry. Although he is somewhat reluctant, Tai Shici has just joined Lu Bu's subordinates, so it is not good to disobey Lu Bu at this time, so he just Neng bit the bullet and said: "As long as the general gives an order, Tai Shici will not hesitate."

"Hahaha, General Taishi is serious. The Xianbei people don't want to attack the city. It doesn't make sense for us to prepare for defense here. I hope you can integrate the horses in Jiangcheng, and select soldiers who can ride horses to form a temporary formation." What does General Tai Shi think about a cavalry going out of the city to help in battle when necessary?" Seeing Tai Shi Ci's firm face, Lu Bu laughed and said.Tai Shici is Lu Bu's new general. Lu Bu has high hopes for Tai Shici, so why would he let Tai Shici perform any dangerous missions.

"General Lu Bu, is he afraid that our [-] cavalry can't deal with the [-] Xianbei cavalry outside the city? So you want General Taishi to go out of the city to scare the enemy away?" Seeing Lu Bu talking with Tai Shici, Xun Yu already had an insight. Lu Bu's thoughts.

"I'm not worried that our cavalry can't deal with the Xianbei people outside the city. It's just that although the wolf cavalry is elite, it's my painstaking effort for many years, and the cavalry of Zang Ba and Wei Xu has just been formed. Huge casualties." Hearing Xun Yu's words, Lu Bu said with a rare worried look on his face.Lu Bu has been fighting all year round, and he is very clear about the things on the battlefield. As the saying goes, if you hurt the enemy ten thousand, you will lose eight thousand. How much bet, it's not up to Lu Bu not to think of some clever tricks.Perhaps when the enemy finds that he has no fewer cavalry than them, retreat.

"Don't worry, General, Tai Shici will definitely live up to everyone's expectations, so let's prepare." Tai Shici bowed to Lu Bu and turned away, but this time he did not hesitate at all.

"The general loves his soldiers so much, it's no wonder he was able to enter Liangzhou and become the overlord in a short period of time." Looking at Lu Bu in front of him, Xun Yu couldn't help but praise.

"Hey, although I don't know how the other state shepherds are doing, but I am the overlord, it's very miserable." Hearing Xun Yu's words, Lu Bu sighed and continued: "Everyone thinks that I am a good person to Xianbei. The reason for the battle is that I, Lu Bu, are very happy and want to achieve dominance, but who knows that I have no choice but to do so. Although Ma Teng left me the land of three counties, he didn't even have a grain of food. Jincheng Although it is considered rich, there is only enough food and grass for [-] soldiers and horses for next spring. I, Lu Bu, fought against Xianbei for several months, but I have been able to get [-] soldiers and horses for food for next spring. Even though I don’t know now, How will my other [-] soldiers survive this winter? I, the overlord, will suffer.” Lü Bu has been worrying about food and grass for the army all along, but unfortunately, Lv Bu can only bear this kind of thing by himself, but now Lv Bu and Xun Yu's relationship eased a lot. Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Bu complained to Xun Yu.

"Xun Yu is not talented, and I would like to follow the general, solve the general's worries and solve the case, and help the general." Lu Bu was still worrying about his own food and grass, but Xun Yu had already kowtowed to the ground and said to Lu Bu.

"This? What Mr. Xun said is true?" Although Lu Bu has always attached great importance to Xun Yu's talent and wanted to use Xun Yu for his own use, but Xun Yu refused. I was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Since coming to Xiliang, although Lu Bu really hoped that Xun Yu would help him, he never mentioned this matter in front of Xun Yu again, in order to let Xun Yu see himself clearly before making a choice, and now he finally saw the effect

"General, doesn't the general want to reward Xun Yu with a bite of food?" Seeing that Lu Bu was a little dazed, Xun Yu smiled and said jokingly.

"Hahaha, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, you really made me wait so hard. To have your help, Xun Yu, is better than a hundred thousand cavalry. From today on, you, Xun Yu, will be my Lu Bu's military advisor." After listening to Xun Yu After saying this, Lu Bu finally came to his senses, and it turned out that everything was true, and Lu Bu finally had the best of all hardships.

Lu Bu laughed, quickly pulled Xun Yu up, helped him to sit on his stool, and then smirked. At this time, Lu Bu saw Xun Yu, the more he looked at it, the happier he was, and the more he looked at it, the happier he was.

"Uh, the general said just now that the army is short of food and grass. I wonder what the general can do?" Seeing Lu Bu looking at him, Xun Yu couldn't bear it even though he was very deep in the city, so he changed the subject and said.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Xun Yu, Liangzhou is barren, even if it takes three to five years to recuperate, it will be difficult to improve. However, the world is in chaos now, and the princes are rising together. I am afraid that the world will change in three to five years, so I thought I wanted to To solve the problem in Xiliang, we can only use our brains in Yongzhou." Lu Bu thought for a while and finally spoke his mind.

"Yongzhou has rich and beautiful fields, few wars, rich people and strong people. It is indeed a place to use troops." Hearing Lu Bu's words, Xun Yu nodded after a little thought, but then he was surprised and continued: "The general attacked Xianbei. Could it be that building this Heqi City is also a preparation for attacking Yongzhou?" While speaking, Xun Yu suddenly thought of the location of Heqi City, and looked at Lu Bu in surprise.

It turned out that the Han Dynasty was weak and the large area west of Yongzhou had been occupied by Xianbei people, so the road from Chang'an to Xiliang for many years could only enter Xiliang through Fufeng, Tianshui and Longxi.Over the years, people have almost forgotten that there is actually an old road that is closer to Xiliang from Chang'an, that is, you can go directly from Chang'an to Xiliang by crossing the land where Xianbei is entrenched, and the location of Heqi City is just on this antenna road. In other words, now that Lu Bu wants to take Chang'an, he doesn't have to travel through the two counties of Tianshui and Fufeng like Ma Teng did back then. Instead, he supplies and rests in Heqi City. The action actually has such a deep meaning, but it's a pity that Lu Bu's soldiers and horses are already approaching quietly, while Wang Yun and Ma Teng in Chang'an are thinking about how to stand up to Guo Si and Li Jue. Thinking about it, they really don't know how to live or die. These things, Xun Yu looked at Lu Bu differently, and he himself called Wang Zuozhi a talent in vain, but he almost didn't see the mystery.

"Hey, this is also a helpless move. If it weren't for Liangzhou's difficult situation, I wouldn't have taken the risk. With the current situation in Liangzhou, it is really hard to bear another war." Although Xun Yu had already admired it, But Lu Bu said helplessly.

"Hehe, now that Wang Yun is fighting with Li Jue and Guo Si, God gave the general the opportunity to win Yongzhou. Once such an opportunity is passed, it will be difficult if the situation in Yongzhou is stable and you want to win Yongzhou. The price paid will also increase several times, the general's decision is just right, and the general also said that Xiliang's military rations can barely last until next spring, if the general can't solve the problem this winter, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." Xun Yu's talent is outstanding, so he can see the opportunity, but just after he finished speaking, he said worriedly: "It's just that although the general has more than [-] people, these soldiers and horses are naturally enough to defend Liangzhou. Going down to Yongzhou may be a bit stretched."

[-] soldiers and horses are not too much, and it is not a lot to say that it is not a lot. It is no problem to defend Xiliang, but if they are to be dispatched to attack Yongzhou, [-] soldiers and horses are already the limit. Ma Teng still has no advantage against Li Jue and Guo Si. It is even more difficult to win Yongzhou, but Xun Yu dare not say the idea of ​​increasing troops. Soldiers have no combat power to speak of.
